We don’t believe in a work persona, we avoid hierarchy and we connect with empathy and honesty. Our House Hosts don’t shy away from the fundamentals either; they embrace our systems and tech and they are eager to learn and evolve. When guests return home inspired, with stories to tell and discoveries to share, you will have been successful. They will come back more often and tell others. This will be the tale of Locke. In return we offer you a bonus scheme, holidays (including the option to buy more if you want them), a host of wellbeing benefits (Cash Plan, Life Assurance, Long Term Income Protection, an Employee Assistance Programme…), free nights in our properties, awesome recognition schemes, pension (the tax efficient way), company sick pay and further benefits tailored to your individual needs.
